WE ARE PART OF SOMETHING GREAT.

THE SUSTAINABLE TIMBER FACTORY

SOLAR POWER

We recycle each kilowatt of electricity. The power of the sun and 17,500 m² of photovoltaic panels with a capacity of 1.8 megawatts on our factory's roof allow us to do so.

CLEAN TRANSPORTATION

The entire internal transportation of goods is free of CO₂and carried out by electrically driven machines.

CARBON-NEUTRAL HEATING

100 % of the heat required for drying, processing, and heating is generated with sawdust – a by-product of production.

ZERO WASTE POLICY

Sophisticated technology enables us to make full use of all raw materials. Everything we cannot reuse ourselves is 100 % recyclable.

PRODUCE – REUSE – RECYCLE

Our products are designed to have a long lifespan. After decades of use, either their next life or carbon-neutral thermal recycling awaits them.

RAIL CONNECTION

An on-site rail connection guarantees eco-friendly transportation to the outside.

Sustainable cities and communities

The lightweight and efficient LOC modules enable and simplify urban densification, for example, by adding to existing buildings. That is how affordable, high-quality living spaces are created quickly and economically. Sustainable in-house production secures employment in a rural area.

Sustainable consumption and production

Using timber from 100 % sustainable and certified local forestry assures short transportation routes. Our products are long-lasting, stable in value, reusable, fully recyclable, and store CO2 long-term.

Climate protection measures

By using and promoting timber as an all-round material, using energy-efficient technologies and alternative and fossil power units, as well as our photovoltaic panels on our factory roof, we directly and proactively participate in climate protection.

WHY LOC BELIEVES IN TIMBER

Timber is a local hero that grows back every year in Austrian forests. This building material is available in sufficient quantities, and the power of photosynthesis turns it into a carbon reservoir. Out of all building materials, timber is considered to have the lowest energy demand for production, transportation, and processing. Timber exhibits the best technical qualities and guarantees a remarkably long use. At final disposal, its recycling cycle is climate-neutral.
